The Science of Psychology: An Appreciative View is an even better rendition of the acclaimed first edition Aimed at entry-level college learners and written by Laura King, it is a flexible learning tool for both students and instructors. This well organized book is split into 16 topics, with emphasis on a comprehensive review of psychology's scientific method, the biological foundations of behavior, human development, sensation and perception, and the states of consciousness. The author starts with a definition of psychology, explaining in great detail its roots, contemporary approaches, areas of specialization, and relationship to health and wellness. Widely available in bookstores and for rent, The Science of Psychology: An Appreciative View (ISBN 9780073532066) also covers learning memory, thinking, intelligence, and language, motivation and emotion, and personality. The study edition tackles related disciplines such as social psychology as well as industrial and organizational psychology and is an excellent source for those interested in further study. Each chapter is divided into several more subchapters to make it easier for students to grasp key concepts, such as cognitive revolution in psychology, thinking, measuring intelligence, and genetic and environmental influences on aptitude. Students interested in self study can access the online learning center, where they'll find interactive tools. For instructors, there are classroom performance systems, PowerPoint presentations, and an exclusive instructor's manual. One of the best things about by Laura King's compelling style is that it not only provides information and explanations, but also encourages its readers to use their critical thinking skills to solve everyday cases.
